My favorite quote by Aristotle is “Excellence is not an act, but a habit”.

I propose that productivity is not a singular act but merely a collection of habits you form every day that, when bundled together, ensures an above average level of productivity.

I call this concept your productivity tempo. It is the rhythm of your day. It is the difference between a day where you consistently complete your tasks efficiently and a day ...

I had my depakote level taken about a month ago and it was about 40, I'm not sure of the units my n.p just said that 40 was out of the range where it would even do anything and she wanted to get it up to 80 so she double my night time dose from 500 mg to 1000, I also take 500 in the morning. I haven't noticed any change in my mood, its ...

Lin and me and aurora and R share a space inside. We live in the dark part of the inner world so our traumas don't effect the others (and Aurora and R live with us for support). Now we are all getting more stable and happy and our space is starting to disappear. It's sort of getting translucent. I wonder where we'll live when we're ready to leave the dark part again since when you're ...

I didn't know where to post this, so I apologize if this is the wrong section for this.

I have experienced a radical shift in some of my beliefs within the past three weeks, and they seemed to have come out of nowhere. I was sick with the flu a few weeks ago, and one night when I was unable to sleep I wrote a five page commentary on a subject, but from the opposite ...

So, I've done a lot of searching on the internet as well as on this forum, and I've yet to find someone being prescribed both.

I was started on 10mg of Prozac and 150mg of Welbutrin. Next week, I will increase my Prozac dosage to 20mg.

Does anyone have any experience with these medications together? I've been prescribed so many medications in the past and nothing seems to help.

Just to name a few:Lexapro made ...

I came upon you when you were magical
Before you could know I was there
I severed your soul
I pierced you to the core
I brought you feelings of being flawed and defective
I brought you feelings of distrust, ugliness, stupidity, doubt
worthlessness, inferiority, and unworthiness
I made you feel different
I told you there was something wrong with you
I soiled your Godlikeness
MY NAME IS TOXIC SHAME

I existed before conscience
Before ...

Hypothetically what's your opinion on the legalisation of everything?

As far as im concerned guilt should be placed on the victim. Life imprisonment for being weak, prefereably tortured and killed as an example to other weaklings.

If someone attempts to harm you in whatever way you are allowed to torture and kill them, if someone tried to break into my house you'd be very lucky if my 4 dogs destroyed you because if not then ...

I was raised in a religious family, my mother does not want me to have sex at all, but my father is the exact opposite. Hell for my 16th birthday he gave me condoms and said "Just be safe."

I have never had sex, and I have tried to masturbate several times, but I feel nothing, and I have never felt anything EVER.

When I was younger (14 - 15) sex seemed fine, and I ...

Hello everyone. I'm moonseeker from Ireland. Two years ago I was diagnosed with psychosis and depression. It was tough, but I am now on the mend :) . I joined this forum to talk to like - minded people who had similar experiences to my own. I'm also hoping one day to become a psychiatric nurse, and help people with mental illnesses.

Other than that, I'm 18 ...

So as I have alluded to on another post (feel like I'm spamming here :oops: ), I've been seeing this guy, and at first I thought my AvPD was just being exacerbated by a sudden showing of interest from someone, which clearly I felt extremely uncomfortable with. I'm trying hard to become more comfortable with it, and it's very much about the eye-contact (which I am generally ...
